Our Priorities

Working Group on an Expanded Nonproliferation System

EXPLORing HOW TO GIVE INDIA A
MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THE NON-PROLIFERATION SYSTEM

Challenge

Since becoming a nuclear weapons power, India has largely remained outside of the global nonproliferation system.

Action

NTI formed a working group to identify goals for the nonproliferation system that the United States and India could agree on, and to develop a road map for a revived nonproliferation system that could integrate India.

Results

NTI and CSIS published a report outlining specific steps to give India a more active role in the non-proliferation system
